I'd be mighty peeved if that happened to me Re: builder problem 4Oct 20, 2010 8:12 pm Seems a bit rich to me.... is there a contract or anything that might state they have dibs on the old kitchen?? I'd be peeved too if someone came along and expected something like that was theirs just because you bought a new one from them. Ceebs Re: builder problem 8Oct 21, 2010 9:06 am Not sure about renovations, but with my house demolition, the demo company owns everything classified as a part of the building as soon as I sign. The only exceptions are items that specially noted on the contract and agreed upon by both parties. Our price went up a little bit as we are taking a few things that they believe they could have re sold. We are keeping our ceiling fans(with switch) in wall AC unit, upper kitchen cupboards and rangehood (12 month old), floating floor, front door, all security screens and fly-screens, all windows (demo to remove due to OH&S) roof ventilator, hot water service, Heating ducting. The $$ figure in your quote may have been affected by the assumption on your installers be half that they could keep the old one. Re: builder problem 9Oct 21, 2010 4:18 pm I think you're right about the $$ figure. His was cheapest quote by far, but nowhere in contract is it stated that he gets to keep and sell all kitchen and carport items. Of course he was a no show today so will have to try again tomorrow.

If they are selling it, then good for them, but I can't see why you are getting your pants in a knot over it. Or are you just **** they were smart enough to sell it when you potentially could have?

Here we have a relatively new member who has asked a fair question, gone back to her contract as advised and reported back. Then someone slings off at her! Are we as forum members here to be helpful or sling off at someone? As an older (as in age) member of the forum, I don't understand your concept that this was in any way fair. If you think a person is annoyed (for want of a better word) about something then you don't use a forum to have a go at them. We all talk anonymously and therefore I think we should all act respectively to those who ask questions. Not once was the new member rude in any of her responses and seeing as she hasn't responded again she may not come back. Is that what you want? Carolyn Re: builder problem 16Oct 21, 2010 6:42 pm People ask questions to (hopefully) get honest answers. As I said the delivery wasn't the best but if I was paying some one to demo a kitchen then unless specified I would expect them to remove the old kitchen from the property as part of the rubbish, if the builder then sells that good on him 'A bottle of wine contains more philosophy than all the books in the world.'

I agree it was harsh and pov should tame his/her temper but the info is right. I'm pretty sure that contract doesn't go describing into details what happens to the kitchen as the demolition is the demolition - they are responsible for cleaning the place and what they do with items is unfortunately their business unless specifically stated that kitchen is to be removed by owner prior to demolition. contract 10/11 prestart 04/10 slab 06/10 bricks 07/10 roof 09/10 plaster 10/10 Ceiling 10/10 LOCKUP 10/10 tiling wet areas 11/10 garage floor 11/10 PCI 12.01.11 handover 11.02.11 https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=39361&hilit=malvern+springs We are in !!! Re: builder problem 19Oct 21, 2010 7:17 pm Caromac has a point. If anyone is unclear about acceptable behaviour in this forum, I suggest you read the forum Terms of Use. It's OK to express an opinion, but only if you can treat other members with respect. The OP asked a perfectly valid question, and deserves a civil reply. Play nicely.
